COMBINATION PAN.

Application filed June 4,

To all w/zom it may concern:

Be it known that I, Conn B. \Vibn, a citizen of the United States, residing at Dallas, in the county of Dallas and State of Texas, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Combination Pans, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to dishpans, and in that connection refers to a dishpan constructed in such a manner as to form when extended beyond its normal length, an auxiliary draining or rinsing pan, the dish and draining pans being so shaped as to conform to the shape of a standard kitchen sink.

in object of the invention is to provide a dishpan with an adjustable extension thereto that may be used as an auxiliary pan wherein the dishes may be drained after same have been washed.

Another object of the invention is to provide a pan that will conform to the shape of a sink and may be adjustable longitudinally therein, and may be lifted easily therefrom.

Another feature is the provision adjacent to one end of the dishpan of a metal strip in attachment thereto, one end of which is so shaped as to engage a tongue on the rinsing pan extension, when the invention is not in use, to maintain the dishpan and the rising pan in nested relationship, in which the combination of the two will take up the smallest possible space when hung on the wall.

Other objects and features will be set forth in the following description, of which the drawings attached hereto form a part.

Figure 1 represents a side elevation of the invention with the pans extended for use.

Figure 2 shows a perspective view of the invention.

Figure 3 shows a perspective view of the invention placed in a sink; and

, Figure 4; illustrates the drainer removed from the pan.

In Figure 1, the body of the dishpan 1 is shown, with the draining pan 2, one end of which is open to allow it to pass over the dishpan 1, guided in its passage by rolled edge guide 2 engaging the rolled edge 1 of the dish pan 1, said engagement preventing the two pans from lateral sep- Handles 8, of construction to take up the smallest possible space, are ailixed to one end of the dish pan and to the closed 32 si'i l N'Q- 6 3,1

end of the draining pan, so that the combination of the two pans may be easily lifted. In Figure 1 is also shown the opening or openings (1, through which the water poured over the dishes in the rinsing or draining pan may immediately pass out of the pan. The dotted lines show the relative positions of the elements of the invention when it is not desired to use the draining pan extension.

In Figure 2 the invention is shown partly extended, with a catch and finger at and 5 thereon, the engagement of which locks the pans together from movement longitudinally, when it is desired to use the dishpan without the draining pan attachment, or when it is desired to hang the combination of the two, up out of the way, on the wall or other suitable place.

This locking arrangement is effect-ed by moving the finger sufficiently hard against the catch to cause the latter to spring downward and permit the finger to pass beyond the catch. By lifting the finger, the drainer can be moved until it strikes the opposite end of pan 1. I

The rim 1" of the dishpan is so cut away (shown at point 6) as to allow free sliding movement of rolled edge 2 over rolled edge 1*.

In Figure 3 the invention is shown placed in a sink 7, and extended sufliciently to completely fill the sink and utilize. all the available space therein.

It should be understood that the draining pan may extend to a point below the hot water faucet 8, as shown, 9 representing the cold water faucet, to allow the water to run directly on the dishes to be drained. The means for guiding the extension of the pans may be varied without departing from the spirit of the invention, which embodies principally the idea of the combination. feature of washing and rinsing in one article.

What is claimed is:

1. The combination with a dish pan and a drainer telescopically connected thereto, 2. lug projecting inwardly from said dish pan, a resilient finger carried by said drainer, said finger adapted to engage said lug for retaining said drainer in one position and contact with a wall of the dish pan for limiting the outward movement of said drainer.

2. A combination dish pan and drainer comprising a pan section and a drainer section, telescopically connected together adapted to be seated within a sink, the dish pan section'comprising a bottom,-side and end Walls, it rolled edge formed With said side and end Walls, the drainer section comprising a bottom side Walls and an end Wall, 21 rolled edge formed with said side Walls of the dralner for receivlimiting the in the side Walls and rolled edges of the 10 dish pan, a finger projecting from one of 1 the side Walls of said drainer section for sliding 'movement of said drainer section, ,and a handle carried by each section. d 7' 15 In testimony whereof 'I have signed my nzune to-this specification.
